What’s up beautiful people! So the #31DC2017…I am so far
behind I make it look like it’s currently in fashion! Buuuut, between getting
sick and being dataless, I think I can be excused! EXCUSE ME, DAMMIT! So now we
play the catch up game, which means this post is going to be PIC HEAVY!

I will be posting 5 days posts today, the next 5 posts
either tomorrow, Sunday or Monday and then we’ll see where it goes from there.
I do want to try and be finished before month end though because I want to
start posting weekly again without being tied to a prompt The descriptions in
these collective posts will also be shortened so I’ll only be stating the
techniques and the polishes/stamping plates used.

So there you have all the prompts done till DAY 10. I hope I
can be caught up by the end of next week because I am going on a short holiday
with my family and then it’s back to “KNUCKLE DOWN, BUCKLE DOWN, DO IT, DO IT,
DO IT!” (My husband reads my posts so he now has that song stuck in his head!
You’re welcome, babe!)

So I’ve been sitting here for quite a while now, thinking on
how to start this post because let’s be honest, my life isn’t always that
exciting! Do I talk about the weather? Do I ask you how your day went? Do I
think of some funny story about fandoms I love? Out of all the endless options,
I was pretty stumped. But then it hit me!…Just write am intro about how you
have nothing to write an intro about! BOOM! I am a genius! I just stole 30
seconds of your life and I don’t even feel guilty! THE POWER OF THE INTERNET!
MHUUUHAHAHAHAHAHA

So anyway…on to today’s prompt of the #31DC2017 we go!

5. Blue

Today’s mani was supposed to be inspired by something, but
man, it just did not work like I wanted it too! So I am not going to say what
it was inspired by because I am going to try and use it later on in the
challenge again! AHA! 2 flies, one smack and whatnot…

I started by laying down 2 coats of Sally Hansen Pacific
Blue (the OG one) as my base. I then blended a bit of Sally Hansen Pacific Blue
& China Glaze Man Huntwith a fan brush and then after taking off the
excess, just lightly brushed it over the base. Next, I added a tiny bit of
acetone to a blob of China Glaze First Mate and just made some light strokes
randomly over everything. Lastly using a super small headed dotting tool &
Sinful Colors Snow Me White, I added some specks.

Like I said, there was actual inspiration behind this mani
but it didn’t do the inspiration justice and the effect is really important to
me! I’m HOPEFULLY going to try it again later on in this challenge, so keep an
eye out for that.

Hey gorgeous beings! How was your manic
Monday? Did you wish it was Sunday? That is definitely my fun day.
Yup, my “I don't have to run” day...Also, I bet I can tell you
what you're humming at the moment! *shimmy shimmy shimmy*

Before I perfect the art of talking
utter nonsense, let's get to today's prompt, shall we? It is going to
be a ROLLERCOASTER RIDE so hang on to your seats, boys and girls!

4. Green

I started by laying down 2 coats of China Glaze Re-Fresh Mint as my
base. I then tore off pieces of a make up sponge and sponged a broad
area in the middle of the nail with OPI Jade Is The New Black. In the
centre of the area I sponged in a bit of Nubar Greenerfor some
sparkle. Lastly, I just added some loose gold glitter and sealed it
all in with a good thick topcoat (Seche Vite FTW!)

Okay, so this was hella easy but I swear I will start pushing myself
a bit more. I have been feeling like I've been taking these prompts a
bit too easy so I am going to try and bring in some more detail and
harder techniques. Let me emphasize the TRY though, not promising
anything!Lots of mad love...

Lovelies! Lovelies with the lovely jubblies! It’s Sunday and
everyone is gearing up for the new week so not going to blab too much today.
Sometimes silence is good. Needed even! So let’s get to today’s nails for the
#31DC2017, shall we?

3. Yellow

For my base I started with 3 coats of Color Club Endless
Summer. On my ring and middle finger I then layer stamped using Mundo de Unas
White, Mundo de Unas Black, Born Pretty Store plate BP-146and a clear stamper.
For the pinky and index finger I made decals using Mundo de Unas Black, Sinful
Colors Snow Me White and Harunouta plate 18(available from Born Pretty Store).

I did a mani with skulls in it yo! Of course I’m happy
with it! Now…lets touch on this yellow. I don’t like 3 coat polishes! AT ALL!
Especially if it’s a crème but…BUT…this yellow is so worth it! It is juicy
sexy! And honestly, I think with a bit of careful applying it could be a 2 coat
yellow polish. Doesn’t it just scream summer?Lots of mad love...

So we got past day one, people! Heck,
it's the most I've blogged in over a year so I am pretty stoked,
knowhatimsaying? #31DC2017 make you blog real good, guuuurl!

I'm going to jump straight into today's
prompt because it's Saturday and let's be honest, you have better
places to be, you social butterflies you! *cries alone in a corner*

2. Orange:

For my base I started out with 2 coats
of Morgan Taylor Funny Business and then a coat of China Glaze Pick
Me Up Purple. I then made stamping decals with Mundo De Unas White,
OPI In My Back Pocket & Born Pretty Store plate BP-73.

I kinda love how the purple base makes
the orange pop! And let me tell you, if you want good purples,
whatever spectrum it may be, Morgan Taylor is where it is at! Morgan Taylor Funny
Business...I love you! *motorboats all my purple polishes*
